typecheck not working with pnpm

[IlyaSemenov]

In a pnpm installation, nuxt typecheck fails with:

> nuxt typecheck

error TS2688: Cannot find type definition file for 'swiper/vue'.
  The file is in the program because:
    Entry point of type library 'swiper/vue' specified in compilerOptions


Found 1 error.

This is because nuxt-swiper pushes swiper/vue to types:

nuxt-swiper/src/module.ts

Lines 30 to 32 in ab323dc

	ctx.references.push({
	types: 'swiper/vue'
	})

but the Nuxt project itself doesn't have swiper as a dependency, so type checking fails.

Instead, nuxt-swiper should re-export swiper/vue (being swiper-nuxt dependency) as something like swiper-nuxt/types, and use it for the injected reference.

The current workaround is to manually install pnpm add swiper@^10.3.1 but this needs to be manually synced with swiper (the latest version of swiper which installs by default is already one major version ahead), and is thus error-prone.

Just faced this issue, after switching to pnpm (used npm)

Same issue here, problem started with a new pnpm version probably as we did not have it before.

yeah, looks like it won't be fixed, so i chose npm over pnpm (slower, but more maintanable)

Same issue with Nuxt3 and pnpm, any workarounds that can hide the type error?

Edit: Nevermind I just added swiper as a package also
